Further Detail

From the designer renowned for his use of natural materials in his meticulous, yet sensual clothes and interiors, this is a study of John Rocha's design philosophy and influences. For John Rocha, design is about balance, beauty and the understanding of the organic state, whether this is fabric, glass, wood or stone. His collections are explored in these terms to form a coherent philosophy linking his clothes and home collections, his architectural and interior designs. John is renowned for his union of contrasting textures and muted colours, marrying age-old materials and techniques with more contemporary shapes.
